- "experts recognised men's disinterest and violence towards women and women's resentment and fear of men, as fundamental obstacles for straight relationships, and, consequently, they produced an industry designed to train men and woman to like each other, without undermining men's authority or challenging the basic logic of the gender binary."
- "we think that we should have a higher standard of living than someone who's flipping burgers at McDonald's or selling shoes at dillard's. we strongly want our children to reproduce or have an even stronger social position than ourselves. and so these drives are in fundamental tension, though, like the drive to be an egalitarian and the drive to be an elite, don't sit easily with each other. you can't really be an egalitarian social climber. Right? And this kind of tension has been with the symbolic capitalists from the beginning."
